Re: process execution from libc

Hi Ben,

I definitely like the idea of integrating noux functionality into libc. The most obvious barrier that I see is Genode's recursive structure and the comparatively flat POSIX structure. In particular, there is no way (AFAIK) for a process to create a sibling or sibling-like process without the parent process's support. How can we overcome this barrier without a shared parent (noux)?

Also, what is your rough plan so far, Norman?

my idea is to split the responsibilities of today's Noux into a part that resides inside a VFS server (which we will have anyway) and a part that resides in the forking program.

Cheers Norman
